What to Do When the Wuling Hongguang Alarm Keeps Sounding?

If the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is too high, there is a sensitivity adjustment button on the vibration sensor of the anti-theft device. Fine-tune it slightly. Check the wiring and the alarm for any looseness or damage; inspect whether other alarm systems are functioning normally.
Last time my Wuling Hongguang's alarm kept going off for no reason, making it hard for me to sleep. This is usually because the car door, trunk, or hood isn't fully closed, triggering a false alarm from the anti-theft sensor. Wuling vehicles have relatively simple anti-theft systems, but they are highly reliable and prone to interference. First, manually ensure all doors are properly closed, then try using the remote key to repeatedly lock and unlock the car a few times—sometimes weak signals from low battery power can also trigger the alarm. If the alarm continues to sound, it's recommended to immediately cut the power: turn off the engine, open the hood, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, wait five minutes, and then reconnect it to reset the system. From a safety perspective, don't take this lightly—alarm noise can disturb neighbors and may even result in fines. After handling the emergency, it's best to visit a professional auto repair shop to check the sensors and wiring. Regularly keeping the car doors clean can prevent jamming and malfunctions. Periodic checks of the remote control's battery can also reduce such issues.
The incessant alarm noise is indeed a headache. I've had similar experiences with my Wuling. Most of the time, it's due to doors or windows not being properly closed, especially when debris gets stuck in the passenger door gap or the hood is loose, triggering false alarms. The Wuling Hongguang is cost-effective, but its anti-theft system tends to be overly sensitive, especially prone to false alarms in high temperatures or humid conditions. The first step is to ensure all openings are securely closed, then try resetting: turn off the engine, remove the key, wait a few seconds, and restart to see if the alarm stops. If that doesn’t work, it might be a faulty remote or an aging battery—try replacing it with a new one. In emergencies, to avoid disturbing the neighborhood with continuous noise, park in a quiet spot and quickly contact a nearby mechanic to check the anti-theft module. They can use tools to detect short circuits or faults. As a preventive measure, regularly washing the car and cleaning door track dust helps a lot. In short, don’t delay addressing the issue to avoid draining the battery and increasing repair costs.
